To produce a unique hydraulic press not currently in existence or use within the marketplace because of its unique process requirements.

To design and build a thirty ton press with forty square foot top and bottom platens wherein both could actuate independently while maintaining 0.002” parallelism regardless of where the total of the reaction forces were located within the platen area.

MME’s Custom Solutions:

• MME’s engineering team designed a hydraulic system using
proportional valves, servo valves, and other control components
to minimize the force differential between the two twenty ton
hydraulic cylinders which actuated each platen.

• MME’s designers created a mechanical rack and pinion system
that transferred all forces equally around the entire perimeter
of each platen.

Functional & Economic Benefits to Customer:

A fast-acting hydraulic press that maintains the required tolerances even if all of the reactive force is placed at the extremities of the platen system at a total production cost that could not be matched by any hydraulic press manufacturer
